Tuscan Restaurazionisti

The Restaurazionisti was a reactionary political faction in the Grand Duchy of Tuscany that existed during the nineteenth century. The faction was very supportive of the absolute monarchy in the duchy, and it was entirely opposed to any liberal reforms in the country. Therefore, it was more right-wing than the reformist Moderati, and it was arch-rivals with the Riformisti. The faction supported complete monarchial control over the economy, the role of the Catholic Church in public life, and a strong military. It dissolved upon Tuscany's merger with Italy in 1859.
